BATHORY - Hammerheart (CD)

A new path for Bathory, blending the bruising battery of 'Blood Fire Death' with beautiful, soul-stirring Scandinavian melodies in epic tales that document the passions, battles, and grim fates of Quorthon's snowbound ancestors. The first true Viking metal album, and enormously influential in shaping the path that later Odin-hailing bands were to take. Do you want to know where bands like Enslaved, Thyrfing, and Einherjer got the idea? Listen to this masterpiece.
